The Cleat Defeat

Walker is so excited about his new cleats he picked out yesterday, I wanted to share a picture. Let me preface the picture with this explanation:
These are not the cleats we intended to buy. For 5/6 year old baseball, I really could care less about the brand of shoes we buy....I guess I'm just cheap that way. I don't understand paying a lot of money for shoes they will get about 2-3 months use out of...because you know they won't fit them next year! Well, after our all day shopping on Saturday for baseball stuff and comparing prices of cleats, I decided Hibbett's had the best price. So we headed back there yesterday after I picked Walker up from school. I intended getting the $14.99 cleats. Well, wouldn't you know it, they didn't have his size in the $14.99 cleats! UGH!! They also don't have any more of the $19.99 Nike's that I saw there on Friday which was going to be my back up option. Great. I really don't want to go back out for cleats again, so I relent and let Walker pick from the $24.99 bunch. I know it's just $10, but it's really frustrating when I had only spent about $16 (with tax) in my mind. So, Walker decided on the red Nike's. I must say, they are cute...but just the other day at practice I had made the comment about how I would not spend the money to buy name brand stuff for 5/6 baseball because it's just a waste of money when they will out grow it....Open Mouth, Insert Foot....or should I say Cleat!
So, without further ado, I give you..........

  1. Those are some adorable shoes though :-) and you might be able to pass them on to Wyatt in a few years. I think you made the right decision! :-)
